billiam13 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I have a SBE that is about 6 years old that I bought in when stationed in ITALY. How do you float the 4th round. I am unsure of how to get it to do this? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert II Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 First fill the rear "U" grove on the top rear of the carrier with a hard epoxy. After it hardens, reasemble and insert a shell into the chamber/breach and while the bolt is held to the rear slide another shell on to the top of the carrier and forward. Gently release the bolt so that it slides over this shell and forward, let it continue over the shell and into battery. When fired, the shell on the carrier will be picked up and loaded next. The following shells will then come from the magazine when fired. My SBE (older) version does not have the rear cut, only newer models. It will take the 3 1/2" on the carrier. My newer 20 ga, Montefeltro, when the grove is filled will not take a 3" shell on the carrier, but will take a 2 3/4". Best, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benddg Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Robert II; Can you post a picture of the older carrier? I probably won't do the epoxy thing but I'd like to know what you're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benddg Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Robert you're talking about n the bolt not the shell carrier? Right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert II Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Yes, I have corrected it to bolts. I was confused due to the fact that I have HK 91s which use a similar design using bolt/carriers. Thank you for the input. Best, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
